In a historic announcement, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust declared that all construction work related to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya has been fully completed, marking a defining moment in India’s spiritual and cultural history.
Here are seven major updates from the Trust’s announcement:
Main Temple and Six Subsidiary Shrines Completed
The Trust confirmed via an official post on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) that construction of the main temple and six subsidiary temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha, Lord Hanuman, Suryadev, Goddess Bhagwati, Goddess Annapurna, and the Sheshavatar Temple has been completed. Flags and kalash (pinnacles) have been installed atop all shrines.
Seven Mandapas and Sant Tulsidas Temple Ready
Seven mandapas — dedicated to Maharishi Valmiki, Rishi Vashishtha, Rishi Vishwamitra, Maharishi Agastya, Nishadraj, Shabari, and Devi Ahilya — have been completed. The Sant Tulsidas Temple is also finished, along with installations of Jatayu and the sacred squirrel statues symbolizing devotion and service to Lord Ram.
Facilities for Devotees Fully Operational
General Secretary Champat Rai stated that all works related to devotees’ convenience, including pathways, darshan areas, and worship facilities, are complete. The temple complex is now ready to welcome pilgrims with improved accessibility and arrangements.
Infrastructure and Landscaping Work Progressing Rapidly
While the main construction is finished, infrastructure enhancement continues. Larsen & Toubro (L&T) is executing stone flooring and road construction, while GMR Group is overseeing landscaping, greenery, and the development of a 10-acre Panchvati to enhance the temple’s environmental and aesthetic appeal
Final Phase Includes Boundary Wall and Guest Facilities
A few ancillary projects remain under construction — including the 3.5-km boundary wall, Trust office, guest house, and auditorium. These are not directly related to public access but will strengthen the temple’s long-term operational infrastructure.
Flag Hoisting Ceremony on November 25
The announcement comes ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled visit to Ayodhya on November 25, when he will hoist the temple flag (Dhwaj) in a grand religious ceremony. Trust Chairman Nripendra Mishra said that 6,000–8,000 invitees representing various sections of society will attend the event.
Ayodhya Enters a New Era of Devotion
With the completion of the 70-acre Ram Mandir project, Ayodhya marks a new spiritual milestone. The construction journey — from Bhoomi Pujan on August 5, 2020, to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony on January 22, 2024 — now culminates in the full realization of the temple complex.
As Champat Rai noted, “Understanding the magnitude of this effort is difficult through television or newspapers alone. The project reflects centuries of faith, devotion, and determination.”
